This Is Our God

What child is this, who, laid to rest on Mary's lap, is sleeping?

Whom angels greet with anthems sweet while shepherd's watch are keeping?

This, this is Christ the King, whom shepherds watch and angels sing

Haste, haste to bring Him laud, the Babe, the Son, the Glorious One

The babe, the son of Mary

Who is this child asleep in the manger?

Tender and mild, this intimate Stranger?

Recklessly, wildly loving a dangerous world

Who is this Light invading our darkness?

Glorious might, the sun rising for us.

Conquering night, He captures the hardest of hearts

We sing:

This is our God, living and breathing

Call Him courageous, relentless, and brave

This is our God, loving and reaching,

Scandalous mercy and mighty to save.

Hallelujah! This is our God!

Hallelujah! This is our God!

Hallelujah! This is our God!

Sing praise.

Who is this One who will not condemn us?

Why would He come to shoulder our sentence?

Nothing we've done will keep Him from giving us grace.

Who is this One we watch and we're speechless?

God's only Son embracing our weakness.

He overcomes all death and he frees us to live

And we sing:

This is our God, suffering and dying.

Call Him the Hero redeeming the lost.

This is our God, love sacrificing,

All that is holy, accepting our cross.

Hallelujah! This is our God!

Hallelujah! This is our God!

Hallelujah! This is our God!

Sing praise.
